Let’s be honest: life is full of grown-up stuff like bills and laundry. Doorables are the opposite of that. They’re tiny, harmless, and ridiculously affordable—like a coffee, but one that lasts much longer. When I got my first Series 4 figure (a shy little Boo from Monsters, Inc.), I felt a twinge of pure, uncomplicated joy. It’s the same feeling you get when you find a perfect parking spot or when your favorite song comes on the radio.

Plus, the “list” itself is a social thing. You can bond with a stranger in the checkout line by swapping stories about which figure you’re hunting for. It’s like a secret handshake for people who appreciate the little things. The Series 4 list includes over 60 characters, so there’s always someone new to hunt for—like a never-ending game of hide-and-seek.
How to Make It Your Own
You don’t have to be a completionist. My friend Sarah only buys Doorables when she’s had a rough week—she calls them her “victory lap” purchases. Another buddy uses them as gift toppers, popping a tiny figure on top of a birthday present. Series 4 has a lot of “duos” like Woody and Buzz, which are perfect for showing off a little friendship.
And here’s a pro tip: the Series 4 list is your cheat sheet. Find it online, print it out, and check off the ones you have. It’s oddly satisfying—like crossing off goals on a to-do list, but way cuter. You’ll start noticing them everywhere: at the register, in a friend’s purse, even tucked into a plant pot as a DIY decoration. They’re like confetti for your everyday life.
